Analysts weigh in on Q3 iPhone sales; estimates range from 15M to 20.25M

Earlier this week, Forbes writer Philip Elmer-Dewitt collected third-quarter iPad sales estimates from some 39 different analysts — both amateur and professional — and laid out the tale of the tape ahead of Apple’s earnings report next week. On Wednesday, Dewitt collected third-quarter iPhone sales estimates from the same 39 analysts. Estimates range from the 15 million iPhones Needham’s Charlie Wolf predicted late last month to a record 20.25 million units suggested by Traderhood’s Nicolae Mihalache. The analysts’ calls average out to 16.9 million units, which would be just over double Apple’s iPhone sales in the same quarter a year prior. Apple sold a record 18.65 million iPhones in the second fiscal quarter of this year, and the company’s iPhone business brought in $12.3 billion in revenue.

I believe you, I’m commenting more on the way the article words the two types of analysts.

Bringit

Very conservative estimate.

Drew

Don’t forget to swallow…

He never swallows, he just reuses it over and over and over (it’s like his mouthwash, you know), until it eventually hardens of course.

Bringit

You love cum posts.

Bringit

Creative and original! Just like the POS Android phones! Damn, you are witty, just like your lover PAPI. Endless swallow and cum guzzling comments. The 2 of you are cute.

Analysts predict Bringit will watch hours of self produced male pornography on his iPhone

Bringit

You are as witty and original as Drew and PAPI! Well done. It’s well documented that the Android was conceived of and designed for male porn. Since you, drew and PAPI love to mention gay porn and cum guzzling as often as possible, the 3 of you can have a nice fragmented DROID circle jerk.

Yay… another iPhone estimate posted on BGR… seriously who gives a shit how many phones Apple will sell, we want to know what improvements are coming to the phone. I thought this was a tech news blog, not an Apple investors site.

Clearly you do, douche, because you troll on every one.

Another mature post from the 16 year old iPhans that plague this website.

So… you don’t like the stories… or the commenters.

Why are you here then?

People always talk about how “open” Android is. You know what else is open? The goddamn Internet.

Go elsewhere… young man.

Its not like selling more means a better product… look at the VW bug… they sold more cars world wide then any others… but are they considered the best cars because they sell the most?

Sin City

Interesting since this month was the start of the Q3, so these analysts are psychics. Props.
